Oceans cover 70 percent of the earth's surface, but only a fraction of the undersea world has been explored.
On this episode of TechKnow, Phil Torres joins a team of scientists on a special expedition to explore and uncover the mysteries at the bottom of the ocean floor.
"What we are doing is similar to astronauts and planetary scientists just trying to study life on another planet," says BethOrcutt, a senior research scientist.
The journey begins in Costa Rica aboard the R/VAtlantis, a research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. From there, Phil gets the chance to take a dive with Alvin, a deep-water submersible capable of taking explorers down to 6,000 metres (20,000 feet) under the sea.
Commissioned in 1964, Alvin has a celebrated history, locating an unexploded hydrogen bomb off the coast of Spain and exploring the famous RMS Titanic in the 1980s.
Alvin and its first female pilot, CindyVan Dover, were the first to discover hydrothermal vents, which are underwater springs where plumes of black smoke and water pour out from underneath the earth's crust. The vents were inhabited by previously unknown organisms that thrived in the absence of sunlight.
After 40 years of exploration, Alvin got a high-tech upgrade. The storied submersible is now outfitted with high-resolution cameras to provide a 245-degree viewing field and a robotic arm that scientists can use to pull samples of rock and ocean life to then study back on land.
But scientists are not the only ones interested in the ocean. These days the new gold rush is not in the hills, it is in the deep sea. For thousands of years miners have been exploiting the earth in search of precious metals. As resources on dry land are depleted, now the search for new sources of metals and minerals is heading underwater.
The NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration's national ocean service estimates that there is more than $150tn in gold waiting to be mined from the floor of the world's oceans.
"The industry is moving very, very fast. They have far more financial resources than the scientific community," says Cindy Van Dover, Alvin's first female pilot and Duke University Oceanography Professor.
Seabed mining is still in the planning stages, but Nautilus Minerals, a Canadian mining company, says it has the technology and the contracts in place with the island nation of Papua New Guinea to start mining in its waters in about two years.
What is the future of seabed mining? And what are the consequences of seabed mining for the marine ecosystems? Can science and industry co-exist and work together on viable and sustainable solutions?

Episode 1 of Differential Diagnostics introduces the top cause of pipeline failures, mechanical damage, and explains why it’s such a huge problem in the industry. When mechanical damage strikes, it puts pipeline owners and operators in a race against the clock to figure out exactly where it occurred and repair it before pipeline failure occurs. But finding the damage only is part of the challenge.

Script:
Of the many threats that can affect hazardous liquid and natural gas pipelines, mechanical damage is one of the most dangerous – and most common.
Mechanical damage can lead to cracking…
leaks…
and, worst of all, ruptures.
In some cases, more than one type of damage will be present at the same location: an “interactive” threat.
For instance, mechanical damage can result in a dent…
possibly with metal loss…
or with gouging.
Efforts have been made – mainly through education and monitoring – to reduce instances of mechanical damage by third parties.
But damage still occurs.
In fact, according to PipelineResearch CouncilInternational and the EuropeanGas Pipeline IncidentDataGroup, the leading cause of pipeline failures in North America and Europe is mechanical damage caused by third-party excavation.
And the group Conservation of Clean Air and Water in Europe reports that, since 1971, “third-party interference” is the main cause of failures in European cross-country liquid pipelines.
The U.S.Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials SafetyAdministration – or PHMSA – tells a similar story:
During the past 2 decades, excavation damage has caused more than 11 hundred significant pipeline incidents — one-fifth of all such incidents — on hazardous liquid and natural gas transmission pipelines, both offshore and onshore.
Clearly, mechanical damage to pipelines is a significant challenge for the oil and gas industry.
Let’s look at a common scenario.
Say there’s a pipeline operator who – having previously inspected a section of a forty-year-old transmission line – knows the section has several hundred dents.
The dents are there, without a doubt.
But the data is not sufficient to know which dents are most problematic.
And dealing with all of the dents at once is not possible.
What the operator needs is a way to quantify the severity of each dent.
Then the operator would know which dents are truly the most threatening to the pipeline’s integrity and deal with those immediately…
without spending precious time or resources on non-critical damage.
So the question becomes…How can the operator prioritize those dents?
To be continued…

The best-known precious metals are the coinage metals, gold and silver. Although both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewellery, and coinage. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, of which platinum is the most widely traded.
The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use but also by their role as investments and a store of value. Historically, precious metals have commanded much higher prices than common industrial metals.

The purely mechanical ship operation aspect of marine engineering has some relationship with naval architects. However, whereas naval architects are concerned with the overall design of the ship and its propulsion through the water, marine engineers are focused towards the main propulsion plant, the powering and mechanization aspects of the ship functions such as steering, anchoring, cargo handling, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical power generation and electrical power distribution, interior and exterior communication, and other related requirements. In some cases, the responsibilities of each industry collide and is not specific to either field. Propellers are examples of one of these types of responsibilities. For naval architects a propeller is a hydrodynamic device. For marine engineers a propeller acts similarly to a pump. Hull vibration, excited by the propeller, is another such area. Noise control and shock hardening must be the joint responsibility of both the naval architect and the marine engineer. In fact, most issues caused by machinery are responsibilities in general.

Oceans cover 70 percent of the earth's surface, but only a fraction of the undersea world has been explored.
On this episode of TechKnow, Phil Torres joins a team of scientists on a special expedition to explore and uncover the mysteries at the bottom of the ocean floor.
"What we are doing is similar to astronauts and planetary scientists just trying to study life on another planet," says BethOrcutt, a senior research scientist.
The journey begins in Costa Rica aboard the R/VAtlantis, a research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. From there, Phil gets the chance to take a dive with Alvin, a deep-water submersible capable of taking explorers down to 6,000 metres (20,000 feet) under the sea.
Commissioned in 1964, Alvin has a celebrated history, locating an unexploded hydrogen bomb off the coast of Spain and exploring the famous RMS Titanic in the 1980s.
Alvin and its first female pilot, CindyVan Dover, were the first to discover hydrothermal vents, which are underwater springs where plumes of black smoke and water pour out from underneath the earth's crust. The vents were inhabited by previously unknown organisms that thrived in the absence of sunlight.
After 40 years of exploration, Alvin got a high-tech upgrade. The storied submersible is now outfitted with high-resolution cameras to provide a 245-degree viewing field and a robotic arm that scientists can use to pull samples of rock and ocean life to then study back on land.
But scientists are not the only ones interested in the ocean. These days the new gold rush is not in the hills, it is in the deep sea. For thousands of years miners have been exploiting the earth in search of precious metals. As resources on dry land are depleted, now the search for new sources of metals and minerals is heading underwater.
The NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration's national ocean service estimates that there is more than $150tn in gold waiting to be mined from the floor of the world's oceans.
"The industry is moving very, very fast. They have far more financial resources than the scientific community," says Cindy Van Dover, Alvin's first female pilot and Duke University Oceanography Professor.
Seabed mining is still in the planning stages, but Nautilus Minerals, a Canadian mining company, says it has the technology and the contracts in place with the island nation of Papua New Guinea to start mining in its waters in about two years.

Episode 1 of Differential Diagnostics introduces the top cause of pipeline failures, mechanical damage, and explains why it’s such a huge problem in the industry. When mechanical damage strikes, it puts pipeline owners and operators in a race against the clock to figure out exactly where it occurred and repair it before pipeline failure occurs. But finding the damage only is part of the challenge.

Script:
Of the many threats that can affect hazardous liquid and natural gas pipelines, mechanical damage is one of the most dangerous – and most common.
Mechanical damage can lead to cracking…
leaks…
and, worst of all, ruptures.
In some cases, more than one type of damage will be present at the same location: an “interactive” threat.
For instance, mechanical damage can result in a dent…
possibly with metal loss…
or with gouging.
Efforts have been made – mainly through education and monitoring – to reduce instances of mechanical damage by third parties.
But damage still occurs.
In fact, according to PipelineResearch CouncilInternational and the EuropeanGas Pipeline IncidentDataGroup, the leading cause of pipeline failures in North America and Europe is mechanical damage caused by third-party excavation.
And the group Conservation of Clean Air and Water in Europe reports that, since 1971, “third-party interference” is the main cause of failures in European cross-country liquid pipelines.
The U.S.Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials SafetyAdministration – or PHMSA – tells a similar story:
During the past 2 decades, excavation damage has caused more than 11 hundred significant pipeline incidents — one-fifth of all such incidents — on hazardous liquid and natural gas transmission pipelines, both offshore and onshore.
Clearly, mechanical damage to pipelines is a significant challenge for the oil and gas industry.
Let’s look at a common scenario.
Say there’s a pipeline operator who – having previously inspected a section of a forty-year-old transmission line – knows the section has several hundred dents.
The dents are there, without a doubt.
But the data is not sufficient to know which dents are most problematic.
And dealing with all of the dents at once is not possible.
What the operator needs is a way to quantify the severity of each dent.
Then the operator would know which dents are truly the most threatening to the pipeline’s integrity and deal with those immediately…
without spending precious time or resources on non-critical damage.
So the question becomes…How can the operator prioritize those dents?
To be continued…

In this video clip we show how we mark up one of our partner company assets for their asset register. A desktop power supply unit is placed into processing unit underneath the alignment laser. We display the image we'd like to engrave and make minor alignment adjustment before letting the secondary cutting laser loose on the surface. The processing is fast, we commence with outline markings and then cross hatch the detail in afterwards. In this particular example, we make extremely deep markings of around 0.5mm.

TechKnow - Deep sea gold rush

Oceans cover 70 percent of the earth's surface, but only a fraction of the undersea world has been explored.
On this episode of TechKnow, Phil Torres joins a team of scientists on a special expedition to explore and uncover the mysteries at the bottom of the ocean floor.
"What we are doing is similar to astronauts and planetary scientists just trying to study life on another planet," says BethOrcutt, a senior research scientist.
The journey begins in Costa Rica aboard the R/VAtlantis, a research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. From there, Phil gets the chance to take a dive with Alvin, a deep-water submersible capable of taking explorers down to 6,000 metres (20,000 feet) under the sea.

Oceans cover 70 percent of the earth's surface, but only a fraction of the undersea world has been explored.

"What we are doing is similar to astronauts and planetary scientists just trying to study life on another planet," says BethOrcutt, a senior research scientist.
The journey begins in Costa Rica aboard the R/VAtlantis, a research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. From there, Phil gets the chance to take a dive with Alvin, a deep-water submersible capable of taking explorers down to 6,000 metres (20,000 feet) under the sea.
Commissioned in 1964, Alvin has a celebrated history, locating an unexploded hydrogen bomb off the coast of Spain and exploring the famous RMS Titanic in the 1980s.
Alvin and its first female pilot, CindyVan Dover, were the first to discover hydrothermal vents, which are underwater springs where plumes of black smoke and water pour out from underneath the earth's crust. The vents were inhabited by previously unknown organisms that thrived in the absence of sunlight.
After 40 years of exploration, Alvin got a high-tech upgrade. The storied submersible is now outfitted with high-resolution cameras to provide a 245-degree viewing field and a robotic arm that scientists can use to pull samples of rock and ocean life to then study back on land.
But scientists are not the only ones interested in the ocean. These days the new gold rush is not in the hills, it is in the deep sea. For thousands of years miners have been exploiting the earth in search of precious metals. As resources on dry land are depleted, now the search for new sources of metals and minerals is heading underwater.
The NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration's national ocean service estimates that there is more than $150tn in gold waiting to be mined from the floor of the world's oceans.
"The industry is moving very, very fast. They have far more financial resources than the scientific community," says Cindy Van Dover, Alvin's first female pilot and Duke University Oceanography Professor.
Seabed mining is still in the planning stages, but Nautilus Minerals, a Canadian mining company, says it has the technology and the contracts in place with the island nation of Papua New Guinea to start mining in its waters in about two years.
What is the future of seabed mining? And what are the consequences of seabed mining for the marine ecosystems? Can science and industry co-exist and work together on viable and sustainable solutions?

We display the image we'd like to engrave and make minor alignment adjustment before letting the secondary cutting laser loose on the surface. The processing is fast, we commence with outline markings and then cross hatch the detail in afterwards. In this particular example, we make extremely deep markings of around 0.5mm.

The best-known precious metals are the coinage metals, gold and silver. Although both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewellery, and coinage. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, of which platinum is the most widely traded.
The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use but also by their role as investments and a store of value. Historically, precious metals have commanded much higher prices than common industrial metals.
